If I can lend a virtual hand, would very much like to participate in
this effort.
I teach online undergrad - grad courses here for UA-Little Rock (but
at a distance myself; reach me there at [log in to unmask]) and teach
hybrid courses for NorthWest Arkansas Community College...online
"lecture" and f2f lab/field experiences (reach me there at
[log in to unmask] ). I also work with pre-college students
(generally junior high to high school ages)...so I bridge that gap
(this email gets you there).
By training I am a volcanologist/igneous petrologist. By doing I have
been a county and private consultant geologist in environmental and
engineering issues, to include earthquake hazards. By interest, I
work closely in pre-/in-service teacher training and also try to bring
the relevance of the geosciences to societal/public policy arenas.
Best to everyone,
Wendi
